10/1/2009 - Conference papersBy surveying experienced equipment operators about visual cues, researchers developed a method to gather data on the needs and practices of machine operators while controlling the machine and the reasons for needing particular operational cues.
-
10/1/2008 - Conference papersThis paper describes research to control dominant noise sources in continuous miners. This work ranks noise radiated by different conveyor sections and determines the effect of a urethane-coated tail roller on the noise radiated by the tail section.

6/1/2008 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers used motion analysis data and digital human models to evaluate factors that precipitate struck-by injuries in the operation of remote continuous mining machines.
-
10/1/2007 - Conference papersThis investigation analyzes factors influencing struck-by accidents during tramming of a continuous mining machine using digital human model simulations with a variety of subjects, postures, environmental constraints, and machine characteristics.

6/1/2003 - Conference papersThis paper analyzes extensive noise and urethane durability testing on a Joy 14CM9 continuous miner's conveyor assembly, tail roller, and bottom plate conducted at NIOSH's Pittsburgh Research Laboratory facilities.
-
6/1/2003 - Conference papersThis paper identifies the most significant noise-radiating surfaces on a continuous miner tail section and examines the effects of three engineering noise controls.
-
10/1/1998 - Conference papersLike many experienced workers, remote control continuous miner operators perform their everyday jobs making choices and decisions that they may not consciously think about. To better understand what potential cues and feedback help to guide the operator...
